I know. The idea of investing in a lathe, bridgeport and 5 axis CNC is sounding more and more like a good idea every day.

Thanks guys, I left Riffraft my email for when he gets one. I don't think I need one just yet, vac was 21 at the pump. When I thought I needed one was when I was going thru the vac lines on the passenger side I didn't have any vac at the climate controls and my ac mod. It was one of those projects that fixed itself. Just blow thru the lines and then I had vac and both those items work now.

Never-mind
You would have to have proper tools to not destroy the clamped together type deal.

maybe a super duty electric pump some how? I wonder if that would support brakes?
i kind of doubt it
